Faculty

This practicum trains the student in the art of sight-reading piano scores. Emphasis is placed on approaching scores with an eye toward musicality, including articulation, phrasing, and dynamics. Rapid identification of rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic patterns is stressed. Students will sight-read diverse musical styles, including contrapuntal works, sonatas from the late 18th century, harmonically complex works from the 19th century, and non-tonal works. May be required as a result of a placement exam.
